Subject: Re: Senate Border Bill Details...
"Everyone gets asylum these days"?? Albaby already detailed that about 40% of hearings result in asylum. The other 60% get sent home.

Do they? When hearings are several years out, is that a provable statement?

So, no...no automatic work permits. Not even close.

Hmm. Do you at least agree that a lax "expedited" amnesty process would lead to an increase in work permits?

No, I'm not going to click on a twitter link. I don't care if it's Hannity or Biden. No difference to me. Social media is not refereed or moderated in any way. It's a shit-show. Journalist reporting is the gold standard because -if they do their jobs- they report what -for example- Biden says, and then tell us what he got right and what he got wrong.

Yeah...that's worked so well for the field of journalism. Paragons of virtue, honesty and down-the-middle political views they are.

And, no, I'm not going to do the heavy lifting to prove every crackpot statement from twitter is wrong. You have to prove it is correct.

The X posts I cited contained shots of the actual bill. Doesn't get any better than that. PS. Most of the time when I cite an X post...it's from a journalist.

Thanks for confirming that most people don't even look at the links.

Democrats are mostly focused on the Ukraine funding and stopping Putin (something the GOP of old would have been clamoring for, say in Reagan's day).

LOL. The trope of "the GOP loves Russia" is tired. Please don't try that.
What the GOP objects to is
1) Sending all our ammo over to fight Putin, who can't project power more than 30 miles from his border
2) Giving them a blank check

You watch next year, if this comes up, Dems won't be willing to give up anything because you won't have anything they want.

I expect NOTHING from the democrats. As a party, they're completely unserious about border security for their own craven reasons. Always have been, always will be. There will be no border deal under Trump because why would the democrats actually care about something as trivial as national security?

So I'm not willing to eat this sh1t sandwich because next year the dems will have no motivation. A party that had America's interests in mind wouldn't need to be motivated by bad polling, but that's who the d's are.
